Default immobiliser problems

2004 legacy 2.5 cat1 alarm with keypad (do not have codes)
car ok this morning but now will not start
found the battery is u/s and the immobiliser will not operate
replaced car battery/ replaced both battery,s in both car keys still no luck
alarm seems to be off as i can open doors and bonnet with-out alarm going
put the key in ignition and turn-- dash inst go round and back to zero still u/s i,am going to call out rac but has anyone idea,s
plus i believe the key and ign barrel with the alarm fitted inside have to be replace togeather any idea of cost as i spent £700 last week on a new clutch and gearbox imput shaft
help getting desperate as i have to do an airport run on tuesday morning

rac man said i need the 4 digit code to fix the car. so have to get the info off subaru .you have to pay to get this code and this will have to be put in everytime i need the engine to start then i need to to go to local subaru garage for a reset
(£40 ish) he tested my keys and said they are working but do not operate car doors/alarm
tony i found the page you mentioned but it says i need this code number
to get the code you have to go to the garage with your log book and the 16 digit alarm
serial number but best to ring first to give them time to find number

mate have you tried to reset your pin using the method posted on here
also if your pins been changed by someone since new your wasting your time going to dealer
ive been through all this only to find my pin had been changed so i reset my own pin
